The add task uses Google Calendar's quick add, which does all the parsing. You can read about it here: http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=36604#text But, I think you'll get what you want if you try
$ google calendar add '"Thursday meeting" on 7/1/2010 at 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM'
Anything you don't want Google Calendars to parse and interpret can be enclosed in double quotes (which means you need to enclose everything in '' on the command line)
Hope that helps! (Can't really "fix" this, so marking it WontFix)

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. 2. 3.Submitting an calendar event with a weekday name the first thing in the title "Thursday meeting on 7/1/2010 at 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM" What is the expected output? What do you see instead? an event whose title is "Thursday meeting" instead you see " meeting" I think it stripping out the thursday word to be "helpful" What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? What version of gdata-python-client (aka python-gdata)? win xp 0.9.8 Please provide any additional information below. Programmers would rather pass specific strings for each attribute instead of interpreted English statements.
